SUMMARY

Applying different voltages to LEDs can influence the emitted color, primarily red, green, white, and blue. However, the primary determinant of color is the semiconductor material used in the LED, which defines its operating voltage. Certain LEDs are designed to operate at specific voltage ranges, and their color output is a result of their architectural design rather than voltage alone. Understanding the relationship between voltage and color requires knowledge of semiconductor materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of semiconductor materials used in LEDs
  • Knowledge of LED operating voltages
  • Familiarity with color theory in relation to light

I heard through the grape vine that applying different voltages will emit different colors of light from an LED mainly red, green, white and blue. Is this accurate or is it that the architecture of each LED is different. Are there LEDs that are sensitive to various voltages? If so what would these be called?
